Illustrated edition of 6 maps (4 colour hors-texte), 217 engravings very faithfully drawn by a pleiad of artists of the time among whom E. Bayard, A. Marie, A. de Neuville, P. Philippoteaux according to the author's sketches and photographs. The frontispiece represents Louis Rousselet in Sirdar costume from the court of Bhopal.

Scenes of animated groups also form anecdotal digressions that punctuate the whole.
